FIRST CHELSEA CLINTON, now Malia Obama. “Why are all these stories about daughters? Is it because we keep choosing — for our high-ranking politicians — men with daughters? Is it because big media more easily accommodates females? Or do females find it easier to hop onto a career path built with political favors?”

I dunno. I always thought one (unconscious) problem the left had with Romney was all that *vigor* - if you catch my drift....Nothing like proof that someone is oozing testosterone. So distressingly alpha, don't you know.

I'm no fan of Obama, but a PA job isn't exactly glamorous work. It's what failed actors do to pay the bills. It's better than cleaning the grease trap at the local McDonald's.

I can't really fault Obama for using his contacts to help his kid find a first job, since my dad used his contacts to help me get my first job. Of all the Obama scandals this really has the least legs, unless it turns out Malia was getting paid a hundred K to fetch donuts.

I wrote about this back in 2008, opining (http://mistermoleman.com/2008/11/11/the-fod-factor/) that fathers of daughter (FODs) are generally more responsible, more mature, and more conservative than non-FODs. Alas, Democratic politicians seem to be an exception to the rule.

FWIW, this is really kinda a non-story. It's a production assistant gig on a pilot program.

There are really more worrisome connections between politicians, bureaucrats, and the media that should be brought to light. I mean, how can anyone reasonably expect a news show to be honest and impartial when the producer's *spouse* is on a politicians staff?

Everything about Palin's daughters was "fair game" by the liberal press, but how many people heard about Joe Biden's daughter being on tape snorting cocaine? Joe Biden claims to have invented the term "drug czar".
